1 ADVANCED PLACEMENT U.S. HISTORY 9th GRADE SYLLABUS INSTRUCTOR: Ms. Lauren Zolkiewicz Wheaton HS EDLINE: this course can be found at The site includes syllabus, rubrics, writing and research guides, chapter lists of terms and objectives, as well as assignment calendars. TEXT: students will use a variety of texts, and will have considerable choice as to which Which text is used, with the goal of using the Brinkley text by the time of the AP test. US History: Preparing for the Advanced Placement Exam, by Newman & Schmalbach, Amsco School Publications. American History: A Survey, 10 th ed. By Alan Brinkley Textbook website: Digital History www. ushistory.org READINGS: Digital History (primary, secondary sources) digitalhistory.uh.edu Textbook website History Matters OBJECTIVES: Students will become familiar with the significant political, diplomatic, economic, demographic, social and cultural changes which have made up the American experience from the time of the encounter between Europeans and Native Americans to the 1980 s. Students will prepare successfully to complete the AP US History Exam in May. Students will appreciate the interpretive nature of the study of history through the analysis of primary source documents, the discussion of secondary sources which present varied interpretations of the past, and the synthesis of historical evidence to support a particular point of view through essays, debate, and writing. Students will acquire and improve on learning skills essential for academic success, such as independent reading, note-taking, and writing. COURSE THEMES: course content will include consideration of the following: American diversity American identity Culture Demographic changes
2 Economic transformations Environment Globalization Politics and citizenship Reform Religion Slavery and its legacies in North America War and diplomacy LEARNING ACTIVITIES: Students will be expected to participate in their own learning in this class through a variety of different activities, and will also be expected to prepare for class by doing homework on a regular basis. A variety of texts may be used so that the students are comfortable with the resource that they use most frequently. They will be asked to read and take notes in an interactive notebook, which will be created by students on a model provided in class. Material provided by the teacher will be recorded on the right side of the notebook and students will process the new information on the left side. Notebooks will be checked and graded on a regular basis as homework/classwork. Class activities will include teacher presentation of new material, discussion of readings, document analysis, essay planning and writing, maps and other learning skills, and discussions, simulations, and debates on historical issues. GRADING POLICY Students will be assessed on their understanding of the objectives, including specific content as well as skill based assignments. All work will be completed in the interactive notebook unless otherwise noted. Each week s assignments and activities will be listed on a weekly calendar, which will be posted on Edline and handed out in class. Homework/classwork points will be worth 10% of the overall grade, and will be earned for completion of daily assignments and keeping up the notebook, which will be collected periodically. Formative assessments (40% of overall grade) will include weekly open note chapter quizzes, monthly group quizzes, some brief and longer writings both in and outside of class, and participation in simulations, discussions, and other class activities. Late homework and other assignments will be accepted with penalty until the summative activity for that material has been completed. Formative assessments may be redone if they were submitted on time. Summative assessments (50% of overall grade) will include monthly multiple choice tests and some essay writings. The first semester final exam will be on the model of an actual AP test. Grades will consist of points based on the breadth of coverage and type of assessment; for example, chapter quizzes are typically worth 15 points, while multiple chapter unit tests are worth approximately 50 points. Essays will always be assessed based on the standard AP 9 point rubric, converted to a 20 or 30 point grade. Letter grades at the end the quarter will be allotted based on the following percentages of possible points earned in the categories of summative assessment, formative assessment, and homework/classwork: A = 90% B = 80% C = 70% D = 60%
3 EXPECTATIONS AND POLICIES FOR STUDENTS IN 9 TH GRADE AP HISTORY Advanced Placement classes are very challenging for high school students, but especially so for ninth graders. Students will be given as much support as possible to learn how to function in the classroom (and outside of it) at this very high level. It is not expected that ninth graders already know how to be successful in such a class, and so the class will be geared toward teaching students how to learn how to read a high level text with understanding, to take notes and use them, to write coherent paragraphs and essays, to think about history in an analytical and interpretive way, not just to learn the facts about the past. Success may be defined as significant student growth from the beginning of the year until the end. Hopefully, the outcome will be a passing score on the AP test in May. Whatever the outcome of that test, students will have benefited from taking this course because they will improve their learning skills and analytical abilities in ways that will clearly help them to be more successful in the long run. Because of the challenges that this course presents, students will be expected to attend extra study sessions at lunch and after school when they show some difficulty completing or understanding the work. There will be occasional required lunch time review sessions before tests. It is assumed that students taking this class are committed to challenging themselves to learn and to grow academically by completing the work assigned and preparing to take the AP test in May. It is expected that students will complete all assignments thoroughly and on time, without excuses. It is also expected that they will accept the extra help that is offered to them if it appears to be necessary.
